Steven Powell's daughter testifies against him in court, says she wishes he was back in jail

TACOMA -- Steven Powell's daughter testified against him in court Thursday as he faces a charge of possession of child pornography.

While investigating the disappearance of Steven Powell's daughter-in-law, Susan Cox Powell, detectives found what they said was thousands of images of nude girls.

On Thursday, the mother of two young neighbor girls of Powell fought back tears on the stand as she talked about the photos found in Powell's home. The photos apparently were taken of the girls through a window as they were were bathing in their home.

"The first one is my oldest daughter," she said. "The second one is my oldest daughter. The third one is a picture of both of the children."

Steven Powell's daughter, Jennifer Graves, also took the stand against her father.

After court was dismissed, she spoke more about her estranged dad.

"For the sake of society and for himself," Graves said, "I think it’s better if he just remain behind bars. I’d like to see that outcome."

The charges against Steven Powell didn't shock Graves.

"Based on his previous behavior I was actually not surprised when I found out they had found discs of these videos and images of these little girls," she said. "I feel bad for those little girls that were affected by this and I would hate to see anybody else affected."
